Asmus Toys Avengers Tony Stark casual clothing set - photo and video review

Finally got the Asmus Toys casual clothing set for Avengers Tony Stark in hand. For 25 USD shipped its a nice addition to your Iron Man 1/6 collection. Enjoy some photos and a short review. I Put the suit on a bootleg Truetype narrow shoulder body. And the headsculpt is the one of the Mark IV - original HT. The neck could be a tad longer with this new shirt, but its still ok. Also I used the suitcase from the Hot Toys Mark V figure as a fitting addition to the suit.






The good

  • Awesome black sabbath print on the shirt from their 1978 Tour to "Never say die", also the shirt is made of quality material
  • Cool metal made bracelets that Tony wears in the movie to call the Mark VII suit - love it that Asmus paid that attention to detail and gave us this

The bad

  • actually there should be 2 separated shirts - Asmus decided to do one piece out of the 2 (grey and black) - if you want them separated you can go for the custom suit by MC Toys - which is 10 USD more expensive
  • the biggest bummer on this figure are the shoes - the style and look could be movie accurate (not sure, I rewatched the movie but you never see the shoes in full picture) - but the quality is just bad. A plain plastic piece.
Short video review and best wishes to my subscribers:


Now a manufacturer or customizing company has to bring up the Mark VII capsule. That would be awesome!

  1. Great job there, my dear Xenomorph. Will you be getting the set from MC Toys to make a comparison? It seems this Asmus Toys version got some flaws on the Colantotte bracelet and plastic-ky leather shoes.
